A viewpoint at the end of Tangier medina, that isn't providind spectacular views, as it is marketed. Well some sence of the Spanish shores are there, but dimmed to me, by the commercial port views. I would rate it an average experience.

A small area and quite difficult to find but well worth the effort. Located in the old town and really very unspoilt by tourism as yet, not flooded by bars and restaurants or hawkers with a fantastic view over the port.

Tangier is generally overlooked as a serious tourist destination in Morocco and is often used just as an entry point or day trippers from Gibraltar or Spain. It has alot to offer and the Casbah is a great place to start. Very historic. Mixed architecture...More

Tangier is a bit off the tourist routes in Morocco yet it is worth a visit. The historic part, the Casbah, and its surroundings is a unique blend of Moroccan tradition and colonial architecture. You will hardly find it anywhere else in the country

I can understand why so many writers/musicians/artists chose/choose to live here.
When I first moved to Tangier, A man of many names told me on a late night...."dont get lost in Tangier" and I fully understand what he means now...
Every day is an adventure...More

Toured the Casbah late morning and ended with lunch at an adjoining restaurant. Knowing you're walking around a fortress that is hundreds of years old is pretty amazing. The interior is a maze of alleyways and rooms I'm not sure you could find your way...More

Best place to get lost. Be careful of touts who want to be your guide. One attached himself to us but turned out to be an adorable student so of course we tipped him. He showed us the windy view of Tarifa and the Spanish...More

We took the Ferry from Tarifa, Spain to Tangier for a full day guided tour with Abdel a mere 4 days after the start of Ramadan. We visited the Casbah, "Tangier's Hollywood", Caves of Hercules, the beach, rode camels, went to the locals market, ate...More

Meandering paths with history at every corner from mosques dating to the 1200s to homes built with gardens inside their tall walls, Riad’s. Neighbors know each other and keep it spotless. You can sense a simpler way of life and it is a unique experience....More

We booked a tour guide based on TripAdvisor reviews. At the time, some of the things we did and saw were not what we were interested in, but after it was all said and done, I am glad that we did it that way. We saw a lot of the whole city and had enough time in both the medina and the casbah. We never would have gotten to some of the interesting points that Tangier had to offer without the guide and the street people were far less annoying when they knew we were with someone.

Hello, I don't do shopping in Tangier's Kasbah or the Medina, the bargaining process is tedious and time-consuming and merchants tend to be reluctant to drop their initial asking prices.

Hello, I don't do shopping in Tangier's Kasbah or the Medina, the bargaining process is tedious and time-consuming and merchants tend to be reluctant to drop their initial asking prices.
I can recommend two other places, the informal daily Souk at the top of Rue Portugal (check a Google map for orientation) and the wonderful Bazar Tindouf in Rue de la Liberte, (opposite the El Minzah Hotel) I wanted to write a review of this amazing 'Aladdin's Cave', but Trip said no, so blame the suits upstairs.
In the evenings, many informal pavement Souks spring up along and behind the main street, Avenue Pasteur, the other two recommendations are only a ten minute walk from here. There is also a daily fruit and vegetable Souk outside Saint Andrews church where villagers bring their home-grown produce to sell.
Hope this helps, as a rule of thumb a merchant's asking price is three times (or more) a reasonable one, they size you up by your clothing, jewellery and especially an expensive-looking wrist watch, so try dressing down a bit when out shopping, best I can advise!
Try to avoid shopping after dark, many shops are deliberately poorly lit to disguise imperfections in stock, especially clothing, by all means look around but go back in good daylight to complete any deal.
